: I think you may not be thinking it all through right. I Love Bees is not
: canon, but that doesn't mean nothing brought up is canon. After all, Coral
: exists. Surely other things mentioned in it would exist and perhaps
: specific events.

: Nicole in Dead or Alive 4 seems to point to them being canon in some small
: regard. Exactly what is canon in I Love Bees is another matter entirely.
: It is essentially like finding a needle in a haystack.

: I mean, the books are canon but they contradict each other and the games on
: several occasions. In fact, the games contradict themselves as well.

: However, Johnson being a Spartan-I would help explain why Bungie didn't like
: First Strike's explanation of his escape from the Flood.

Great point, I agree. It does seem more like a search for the canon type thing.
